Exactly what to do
How I fell in love with you
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
Oh, oh, I love you
You showed how to say
Exactly what to say
In that very special way
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
You fell for me too
And when I tried it
I could see you fall
And I've decided
It's not a trick at all
You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
We're in love we two
And when I tried it
I could see you fall
And I've decided
It's not a trick at all
You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Oh, oh, it's true
We're in love we too
